Add Office 365 Outlook

Workflow

1. Check Memory Bank -> 2. Add Connector -> 3. Review Generated Service -> 4. Configure -> 5. Build -> 6. Update Memory Bank

---

Step 1: Check Memory Bank

Check for memory-bank.md per shared-instructions.md.

Step 2: Add Connector

First, find the connection ID (see connector-reference.md):

Run the /list-connections skill. Find the Office 365 Outlook connection in the output (API name contains office365). If none exists, direct the user to create one using the environment-specific Connections URL — construct it from the active environment ID in context (from power.config.json or a prior step): https://make.powerapps.com/environments/<environment-id>/connections → + New connection → search for the connector → Create.

npx power-apps add-data-source -a office365 -c <connection-id>

Step 3: Review Generated Service

The generated service file (src/generated/services/Office365OutlookService.ts) is large. Use Grep to find specific methods instead of reading the entire file:

Grep pattern="async \w+" path="src/generated/services/Office365OutlookService.ts"

Key methods (sorted by common usage):

Calendar Operations

Method	Purpose	Key Parameters
GetEventsCalendarViewV2	Get events in a date range	calendarId, startDateTimeOffset, endDateTimeOffset
V3CalendarPostItem	Create a calendar event	table (calendar ID), item (CalendarEventHtmlClient)
CalendarDeleteItem	Delete an event	table (calendar ID), id (event ID)
CalendarPatchItem	Update an event	table, id, item
V2CalendarGetTables	List available calendars	(none)

Email Operations

Method	Purpose	Key Parameters
SendEmailV2	Send an email	emailMessage (body, to, subject, etc.)
GetEmails	Get inbox emails	folderPath, fetchOnlyUnread, top
GetEmail	Get single email	messageId
MarkAsRead	Mark email as read	messageId
ReplyToV3	Reply to an email	messageId, body
Flag / Unflag	Flag/unflag email	messageId

Contact Operations

Method	Purpose
GetContactFolders	List contact folders
ContactGetTables	List contact tables

Step 4: Configure

Ask the user what Office 365 Outlook operations they need (skip if already specified by caller).

Calendar -- Get events for a date range:

import { Office365OutlookService } from "../generated/services/Office365OutlookService";

const result = await Office365OutlookService.GetEventsCalendarViewV2(
  "Calendar", // calendarId -- "Calendar" for default
  startDate.toISOString(),
  endDate.toISOString()
);
const events = result.data?.value || [];

Calendar -- Create an event:

await Office365OutlookService.V3CalendarPostItem("Calendar", {
  Subject: "Focus Time",
  Start: "2025-06-15T10:00:00", // ISO 8601 format
  End: "2025-06-15T11:00:00",
  ShowAs: "Busy",
  Importance: "Normal",
  IsAllDay: false,
  Body: "<p>Blocked for focus work</p>",
  Reminder: 5
});

Calendar -- Delete an event:

await Office365OutlookService.CalendarDeleteItem("Calendar", eventId);

Email -- Send an email:

await Office365OutlookService.SendEmailV2({
  To: "<recipient-address>",
  Subject: "Subject line",
  Body: "<p>HTML email body</p>",
  Importance: "Normal"
});

Key types:

Type	Purpose
CalendarEventClientReceiveStringEnums	Read model -- has Subject, Start, End, Id, ShowAs, IsAllDay, Organizer
CalendarEventHtmlClient	Write model -- requires Subject, Start, End; optional Body, ShowAs, Importance, Reminder
EntityListResponse_CalendarEventClientReceiveStringEnums	Response wrapper -- access events via .value

Response pattern:

const result = await Office365OutlookService.GetEventsCalendarViewV2(...);
if (result.success) {
  const events = result.data?.value || [];
} else {
  console.error("Failed:", result.error);
}

Step 5: Build

npm run build

Fix TypeScript errors before proceeding. Do NOT deploy yet.

Step 6: Update Memory Bank

Update memory-bank.md with: connector added, configured operations, build status.
